I have the following problem. First the native Windows XP-XP setting: I have a DCOM service on a remote XP workstation machine (The service is OPC server simulator, but this is not relevant for my problem). My (local) client application needs access to the DCOM service on the (remote) server, and following the documentation which came with the server and a lot of browsing, I managed to set it up under the following conditions: - There needs to be an user account on the server with same username as my account on the local machine - The account on the remote server has to have same password as the account on the local machine. Under those conditions, my application can connect to the server and get data it needs. If the criteria is not met, it does not get access. I tried to disable all DCOM security on the client and server machine (a bad idea, but for the sake of testing...), but I cannot get it working with nonexistent remote account or different password, even ife all possible authentication is set to "none" and everyone and everybody has all possible privileges... Now the Wine setup: Instead of running the CLIENT under XP, I need to run it inside Wine. I installed DCOM98.EXE, so this part is taken care of and there are no DCOM related issues I am aware of. The client does simply gives me the same answer (it cannot connect) as if I would run it from the local user account that has not remote counterpart or has different password. Now for the question: how do I force Wine to present itself to the remote DCOM server as certain user with certain password? In Windows, I create the account with the same username and give it the same password, run the client under that account and it works. I do not have option of explicitly setting the credentials, but I don't even need to. In Linux, as far as I know, the passwords are encrypted so there is zero chance that such thing would work out-of-the box. So, how do I force wine to say, "I am user XXXXX, and my password is YYYY" to the remote dcom server? Hope I was clear what I need... I badly need the solution to check if Wine is a viable option for certain kind of terribly messed up interface (OPC over DCOM), for which very few linux options exist. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
